AI-assisted source synthesis · not an independent investigation.
A report dated November 3, 2026, stated that Brazil's largest bank, Itaú, and GFT Technologies developed Batch2Cloud to migrate batch systems to the cloud. In its initial implementation, the solution reduced batch-system migration time by up to 70% and increased project delivery speed by up to 3.3 times. Itaú used a validation framework to check the business rules extracted from the systems and said the generated code passed security and quality checks on the first attempt. The report also mentioned that Cisco is testing the refactoring of 98% of the company's legacy code by a two-person team within 24 months, but did not specify a direct connection between that project and Itaú's migration efforts.
